The conspiracy theory surrounding a cryptocurrency exchange’s founder and his sudden death: Trust No One is a documentary that follows the story of Gerald Cotten — the founder of crypto exchange QuadrigaCX — who died without warning while in India. His death blocked users of the exchange from accessing the USD mns that were invested through the platform, creating havoc for all those involved — especially since they haven’t gotten back their money until today. The way Cotten’s demise played out gave rise to several conspiracy theories, including some that postulated he stole the money and faked his own death.
Seriously, Netflix, stop wasting our time with these “mystery / not really a mystery,” clickbait documentaries: While Trust No One has garnered great reviews, including from the likes of the Guardian, it definitely falls under the category of a bait and switch Netflix documentary. While the documentary is suspenseful — delving into these theories and unveiling a web of intrigue and deception — it falls flat on its face when you get to the ending, which is something that Netflix has increasingly been guilty of. If Netflix wants to stay competitive in the era of the streaming wars and stem the decline of its share price, we recommend they produce documentaries with actual mysteries that have a payout in the end. Still, not a bad way to kill a few hours.

Start your week off with a healthy delicious salad from Bar N’ Jar in West Cairo: The salad station at Galleria 40’s Zaitona food hall has a wide range of salads to suit just about every taste, or you can even build your own salad by mixing and choosing between more than 36 items. Our only complaint was how difficult it is to pick among the salad bar’s tasty-looking, colorful options. If you want to avoid the paradox of choice, you can’t go wrong with their Fully Loaded salad — a yummy mix of grilled chicken, beets, quinoa, sweet corn, oakleaf lettuce, kidney beans, and thousand island dressing. Finish off your meal with their signature berry yogurt parfait or a low-calorie vanilla ice cream, and voila — a totally no-guilt dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth.
